It was extremely difficult to be in a bad mood around Hayley. I had the privilege of working with Hayley as part of the same team at US Cellular. We worked hard, but our days were full of laughter. Hayley always impressed me with what a strong servant leader she was. Her team adored her and she was constantly getting the best out of her team through inspiration, and by modeling the way. Hayley set a wonderful example in everything she did. Hayley will be dearly missed. Evan, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hayley was a creative inspiration, and we were mutual fan girls of one another's writing. I have far too much to say to squeeze into a box.

I was very saddened to hear the passing of Hayley. Through Denise’s stories of Hayley’s adventures she definitely took on every challenge that came her way! I was fortunate to have met Hayley and witness her beautiful soul! Denise, Evan and all that loved Hayley my thoughts and prayers are with you.

                        A Tribute to Hayley 

A light has gone out, but the afterglow of Hayley will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her or encountered her presence. The shining light from her eyes and smile was the outward and visible evidence of the warmth in her heart that she shared so freely.

She was fully present to all she met, and was genuinely interested in connecting at a level that was never superficial. Her tenacity for living life was courageous and contagious. Her grace-filled interest in people was met with unconditional love and acceptance and yet challenged us to be better.

The mystery of why it was her time to leave us will forever remain a mystery, but there is no doubt she left us and the world a better place with the imprint she made on our hearts. 

You have earned your wings Hayley.

Thank you for sharing your heart with each of us.
